Busy weekend for Football Development Squads


On Friday 6th March the Under 17 Development squad will have their first coaching session in Owenbeg at 7.30pm. Tony Scullion will be delivering the session. It is also a CPD programme, so club coaches have the opportunity to come over and see Tony at work. The session will be on "Games to Develop Football". I'm really looking forward to the session for two reasons; Tony is a class coach and you can be sure to pick up plenty of stuff from his sessions and secondly this will be the first outing for the Under 17 minor recruits. I haven't seen the final panel yet but I was over at one of the earlier trials and there were some excellent players on show.
On Saturday morning we have our first Under 15 and 16 trials. The coaches for 2009 are all raring to go and I am expecting the quality to be exceptional. So far we only have a few clubs who have submitted their players for the trial so please remember to get them to ccollins@derry.gaa.ie before Wednesday. There was a few queries in the guestbook regarding only be able to register three players per club. If some of the teams playing A football feel they have more players good enough then it will be no problem getting them a trial just submit the names, position and DOB.
